Connecting Narrative with Arts Review

"Venus in Fur" Review
Story of Wes Bentley


Hey all,

Here are two articles I found especially interesting in this week's arts section of the times. First is a piece on Wes Bentley who played Ricky Fits in American Beauty. The story chronicles Bentley's fall from grace and inability to cope stardom after the release, and craze, of American Beauty.

The second is a review of the new play he is in, in NYC. These two pieces work to complement each other extremely well. This is possibly one of the most interesting parts of the Arts section in the New York Times to me; the pieces that report on more timely news maters and the way they connect to opinion pieces throughout the week.
